In that way, I relied on sketching and drawing to cheer myself up and survived through that tough year.

When I was in third grade of junior high, a new biology teacher came to our school - Cian-Yu Lan, she was a very important person in my life. I couldn't forget her until nowadays, and although I have completely lost contact with her, I still hope to find her.

She looked very kind, but with a strong mysterious beauty. Just like a fairy who was kind, smart and elegant, seemed without any troubles in human world. She always welcomed people with a confident and open-minded smile.

Once after school, I stayed in botanical garden in campus to sketch and draw. Because it was a new botanical garden, the area was much larger than the old one, especially located in central, it was like a small natural forest, and there were usually not many students staying or passing through it after school.

She happened to be walking in botanical garden when she met me drawing a camphor tree, she leaned over to take a look, said to me:

"Zong-Yu, you are really good at drawing! Actually, I noticed your sketching and drawing in campus. Your imagination is very rich, how did you come up with so many vivid drawing methods to draw plants??"

I was glad Ms. Lan noticed my work. "Thank you, Ms. Lan. I just put the energy I feel from plants on drawing paper." I share my feelings with her.

"You really did a great job, every piece of work is so attractive to me, how old did you start learning to draw?" She continued to be curious, looking at me with a smiling.

"Actually, I was adopted and moved here when I was in second grade. When I was in orphanage there was a small garden in front yard. I like to take a pencil to sketch and see everywhere. It seems that it started when I was seven or eight years old. After that, I started drawing when I had free time. Drawing was the happiest time for me." I continued to say to her.

"I hear about that you grew up in an orphanage. It's very hard, right? I think you have perseverance in addition to talent. I want to teach you a "supernatural power", a special ability that gives plants more vitality, so that not only It can make you more attentive to drawing, and no one dares to disturb you when you are drawing, do you want to learn??" Ms. Lan showed a warm smile on her face, and took time to tell me a "supernatural power" she wanted to teach me, hoping that I could learn from her.

I widened my eyes and asked her suspiciously. "Supernatural power? It turns out that you have supernatural power, Ms. Lan! Of course, I am very happy that you are willing to teach me, but…" I hesitated a bit, "Do I need any special talent to learn supernatural power?? I don't think I'm good at anything except sketching and drawing. Studying for exams is not good either."

Ms. Lan said earnestly: "No. You just need to remember one thing, that is, when you sketch and draw, you must use pencil which is you are using now until it runs out, and you must keep it well. Wait until it is used very short, and your hand can no longer hold it before discarding. You can’t change to use other pencil, can you promise me??”

After I listened and thought about it, I hardly ever change pencils at will. I will make the best of pencil until it can't be used at all, then I should do a lot of rough work, after that ask my adoptive parents to buy new one for me in exchange. After all, my situation is very poor.

"Okay, no problem Ms. Lan, I promise you!" I readily agreed to Ms. Lan, and then she said:

"Then you hold your pencil and put your hands on my palms. Close your eyes and don't open them. After I say it, open your eyes, then you can open eyes and let go of your hands. You must obey!! Otherwise, there is no way to impart it to you!"

"Okay!! No problem!!" I put my right hand holding my pencil and my left hand on her open palm, closed my eyes, and waited for her instructions.

"Then let's get started!" After Ms. Lan finished speaking in a soft voice, after closing my eyes, I suddenly felt a very delicate smell slowly exuding in the air, which was different from smell in this original botanical garden. It seemed to float down from sky, the indescribable fragrance!! It was like a continuous rain of flowers from sky, I am completely surrounded by rich but very pleasant fragrance.

Although my eyes were tightly closed, I could feel as if I was being hit by a strong light. Although I didn't know what was going on, I still obediently followed Ms. Lan's rules and waited for her next instruction.

After about three minutes, "Okay, Zong-Yu!! You can open your eyes!" After Ms. Lan conveyed instructions to end, I opened my eyes and found that there was no abnormality at all, and fragrant fragrance seemed to have disappeared!!

"Now you already have special abilities, a supernatural power which can give plants stronger vitality!! Just continue to draw as I said." She smiled, said good bye to me, and then waved her hand, stepping on light pace left botanical garden.

"Is there a supernatural power like this?? Is Ms. Lan comforting me?? No matter what, just continue to draw as she said!!" I stayed where I was, although I was skeptical, but I didn't think too much, and I didn't think about it. I don't have any expectations for supernatural power, but I just think that maybe Ms. Lan know me as unpopular and an orphan, then had a sympathetic and kindly encourage me.
